I tried lots of different dilutants, including MIS Glop.  My memory is that its reaction when a drop of Eboni hit the surface of the Glop was rather dramatic.  I believe a did, in fact, make a mix and found that it was not as neutral as a few of the other bases and also that it did not print smoothly.

It did not clog the test printer, but I didn't leave it in very long either, given the very rough printing I saw.

By the way, I finally did receive a response from MIS regarding the rumored discontinuance of Eboni-6.  Given the problems MIS has had with people returning it because they had not idea what they were really buying, MIS likes to actually talk to the buyer and be sure they know about the issues.  In effect, MIS wants to be sure the buyers are on this forum.  Eboni-6 is a special inkset that can do some unique things, but it also has some problems that the beginners should not try to deal with.
